A survey is conducted to determine the most common reason people own a cell phone. A company sent out a survey to customers between the ages of 20 and 30. Based on the responses, the company concluded that people own a cell phone for messaging purposes. Is this conclusion valid?
The conclusion that people in the age group of 20 to 30 own a cell phone primarily for messaging purposes may be valid, as messaging is a common use of cell phones among this demographic. However, it's also important to consider other potential reasons for owning a cell phone, such as making calls, accessing social media, taking photos, or using various apps. To ensure the validity of the conclusion, the survey should have included questions about these other possible uses of cell phones. This would provide a more comprehensive understanding of why people in this age group own cell phones.
